84th Oscars: The Best Moments, The Worst Choices

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the winners for the 84th Oscar Awards.

More Inexplicable Attempts at Humor

Tom Hanks' led off the show with an overlong "tribute" to a seat-filler (a person hired to fill in while the stars are on stage so the auditorium always looks fully occupied), then seemed to say it was a joke.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey, Jr. (Iron Man co-stars), fumbled un-funny meta-banter about filming a documentary about being presenters.

It was wonderful to see the cast of Bridesmaids together on stage but their crude jokes were not appropriate or funny.
